Nirvana catalog gets vinyl re-release

Most of Nirvana's back catalog will reportedly be re-released on vinyl later this year.

The first LP to be manufactured on vinyl will be Nevermind, which includes their seminal song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. The Seattle band's Unplugged will also be remastered for resale by the Original Recordings Group, reports the BBC.

Founder Monti Olson said he believes it is the first time Unplugged has been released on vinyl. "They might have done a limited promotional thing but I doubt it," he said.

The group's first LP Bleach will be manufactured for release by the Seattle-based independent label Sub Pop.

Nirvana was led by Kurt Cobain, and produced just three albums before Cobain's death in 1994 from an apparently self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
